THE FATE or THE CUP.

Speculation as to the result of the yacht races
which are to decide the fate OF the Americas
Cup will soon give way to certainty The first
Of the three contests will be sailed on Tuesday
and its issue will probably make many things
clear which are now the subject of warm
dispute. If the competing vessels are so
nearly equal in point of speed as is generally
supposed, it will be extremely annoying should
such weather prevail as the rivals of the last
two years were obliged to put up with mas
much as the superiority Of the Puritan over
the Gcnesta and the MaytlOwcr over the Gala
tea was so evident the light brcczcs were not
Of much importance. 1t was plain enough
that the order Of their finish would not have
been reversed under any circumstances. But
in the approaching contests there are differ
cnt conditions
The undSputcd champion Of England pro-
poses TO test the question Of supremacy with
the undsputed champion of America. and SO
far as any opportunity has been gwen 70
Judge Of their relative merits, the conclusion
is universally entertained that they are we'll
matched boats. The people of both countries
arc naturally anxious that there shall be no
reason for doubling which vessel is the better
when the match is over. There must he no
room for cavil or debate. The public does
not wish that the races shall be sailed over
again in the newspapers Of Ncw-lo rk and
London, but looks to see the Cup go or stay
according TO the real merits, clearly cStab-
lishcd, of the declared victor.
Mr. Bell, the principal owner OF the Thistle
has had some pleasant things TO say with re-
gard to his American antagonist, General
Paine. He thinks America owes great debt
to the General and Mr.. Burgess, whom he
looks upon as corclatve forces. 81 believe
he saws. that there is no finer yachtSman in
the world than General Paine, no man who
has done SO much for the noble sport" The
feeling which this warm and entirely just
praise indicates is heartily appreciated here.
Il is highly to the ScOtSman's credit that he
speaks with such opcnncSs and cordality.
No sport cXctcs such popular interest III
America as yachting II appeals at once TO
mechanical, mathematical and intellectual in
tercst. 1t has engaged the sympathy and
support Of wealthy. representative Americans
and in trying conclusions with yachtsmen
from across the sea it is most agreeable to
deal with men who hold toward this iaScinat-
ing sport the same elevated position, and are
above all small jcalouscs and rcScntmcnts.

BROOKLYN M4RPLOTS.

The Brooklyn Citizens League has issued
manifesto respecting municipal nominations
and the evils of partlsanship. This body OF
mcddlesome marplots mainly Mugwump sore
heads, received altogether too much attention
from the Republican organization two years
ago. 1t was admitted to conferences and not
only tolerated but encouraged and patronized
in its insidious attempts to prevent the NOM
nation Of Republican candidates of the highest
character. Before the city convention met
there was strong candidate for the nomina-
ton for the Mayoralty, who was enthusiastically
supported by the delegates. He was forced
ont of the field through the intrigues Of the
Citizens League When the convention met
it named another strong Republican who was
identified with legislation in the interest OF
responsible home rule; and he, too, was COM
PEELED 10 decline the nomination owing to
pledges previously dictated to him by the
same mischief makers. All this time the
Citizens League had a candidate Of its own
a Democrat and it nominated him after it had
succeeded in disabling two uncxccptionablc
Republicans who would have been
supported as heartily as Mayor Low
had been by the rank and file Of
the party. The city convention, irritatcd
by this meddcsomc intervention of the League
placed another candidate in the field who has
within the last wear deserted to the Democracy
In this triangular fight the success OF the
Mclaughlin ticket was assured from the
outset. The Mugwump League, as the final
result of its warfare upon reputable Repub-
Leans and its campaign Of intrigue succeeded
in restoring the Brooklyn Ring to power. In
. 4 ~
administration as irresponsible and bad. 1t
is a thoroughly partisan and evil admnistIa-
ton; and the League is largely responsible
for its existence.
It's unfortunate experience in that canvass
ought to have taught the Citizens League
humility. Ordinary prudence ought to have
suggested policy of sclf-eifaccmcnt. at least
in the opening stages of the new campaign.
II the Republican party has it in mind now,
as two years ago, to nominate one OF its most
capable and reputable leaders. why should the
Mugwump reformerS' rage and imagine vain
things? Ought they not rather to rejoice
over the prospect Of thoroughly good nom
nation? In any event ought they not to re-
main in retirement until the records and
platforms of the regular parties are made, and
not remind the public unnecessarily of their
vagaries and escapades in 1885? Their work
in the last municipal campaign, whatever
nav be said Of their motives, was fraught
with evil. They stood in the way of good
nominations by the Republican convention
and rendered certain the election of the Ring
candidate. Let them take themselves out OF
the way this time and not obstruct the progress
of good cause by premature manfcstoes and
noisy demonstrations

RAPID TRANSIT PROBLEMS.

The Rapid Transit Commission, whose re-
port to Mayor Hewitt has just been made
public, is an exception to the average railroad
commission in this city, which is usually ap-
pointed to register the will Of petitioners.
Instead of proving pcrfunctory body, it has
taken pains TO look into the entire subject Of
the citys rapid transit needs. The result is
that the Commission finds that additional rapid
transit routes are impossible under existing
laws, notable reason beng that Forty
sccond-st. is expressly closed for such pur-
poses. The publicity thus given to the fact
that legislation now blocks the way must
tend to discourage the many railroad schemes
on foot in this city for protested rapid transit
A strong point in the report, the most val
liable perhaps, is the recommendation Of the
construction Of viaduct road through private
property, with appropriate crossings at streets
1,hS seems the natural solution Of the rapid
tral-sit problem. But the fact that it would
cause the least infringement on public rights
and render necessary the purchase Of tho
right of way out and out, thus involving a
heavy expense makes such a road the least
attractive kind Of project to those who seek

The Democratic leaders have apparently
agreed upon State ticket. SO that the main
object the Cleveland and Hill factions have
lin view at Saratoga is the capture of the State
COMMITTEE. The present State Committee
Is entirely under the control of the Federal
machine. II is doubtful if the Governor can
,overtmn the majority against him, though
he is working hard to that end. Federal
officials are openly at work all over the State
in violation of the Presidents order Of last
year, and the probabilities are that the Gov
,crnor will gracefully surrender to the Clcvc-
Jand faction and accept in return rcnomina-
Zion next year. He is young and can wait,
and it is fortunate for him that he knows how
50 wait, as he will have to exercise that
faculty for long time. if he ever expects to
become President.
